Slog AM: Your Bad Dad Can’t Leave the Country, We Can Finally Send Handguns in the Mail, and Are World Cup Fans Ghosting Seattle?

Seattle-area drivers face major road closures this weekend as crews accelerate work before the FIFA World Cup. I-405 between Bellevue and Renton, Highway 520 eastbound, Highway 99 northbound, and light rail service between the airport and Rainier Beach will shut down from late Friday through early Monday. Meanwhile, hotel bookings for the World Cup remain below expectations, suggesting fewer visitors than anticipated.
